Beckham & Page To Rock London’s Oly Opening
Traditionally, part of the Olympics Closing Ceremonies is given to the country who is going to host the next Olympics, as a way to tell the world what their games are going to be like. Judging by what BBC SPORT is reporting the 2012 London organizers have planned, the message they are trying to get across about their Olympic Games is “totally and utterly insane.”
London’s portion will include: David Beckham riding on top of a double decker bus kicking soccer balls into the crowd, Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis performing (perhaps together?), and “hundreds of dancers performing ballet and break-dancing routines.” The whole thing has a loony, surrealistic feel to it, like Fellini directing The Night of 100 Stars with a hint of “Who can we get that doesn’t have anything better to do?”. (Speaking of which, isn’t Beckham, you know, still playing with the Galaxy?) The only thing missing is Prince Charles doing some juggling tricks while Hugh Grant wrestles a bear.
